On November 8, AEA PD Online updated the look of its Moodle Server by adding the “Awesome Bar”. Many of the menus that used to be found on the right side of a course page in Moodle are now located in the bar across the top. This new format allows more course content to be visible in the browser and lessens the need for users to scroll from right to left on a page. To learn more about the “Awesome Bar”, view the video below.

Kahoot is a free, online, game-based classroom response system that teachers can use to ask students questions and receive immediate responses from their students. Students love it because it is learner-centric, centered around game-based pedagogy, and social. Teachers love it because it allows them to formatively assess their students, quickly analyze the data, and adapt their instruction. To find out more view the video below.
